Hi, sources are in subversion, so you can find stuff here: for trunk: http://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/trunk/qgis/images/ for 1.6: http://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/branches/Release-1_6_0/images/ I do not know if this is a preferred way (we are then actually using the osgeo-subversion/apache server for serving out images for us ). Better would be to put a copy of the latest stable source tree somewhere on our own webserver(s)?? (macho?) Besides this, the server does not seem to set the right http headers so with me firefox is showing svg-source instead of image etc...

Now that's what I call a how-to section! Going to have to rummage in there. -ramon. On 21/03/2011, at 20:47 , Mike wrote: I should have added more to the email...it was the tasks section.

And per 'task': add a new subpage on which somebody performs this taks using qgis: pointing to data to try out the task etc etc. I have a bit of a start (the first two bits) sitting on my computer at home. But wanted to ask what the best way of presenting this was. I had thought (like Richard) that a wiki-style thing (perhaps a little bit of the User's Corner?) could be a good place for this. Then if others felt like completing a bit of one of the tasks they could add that in easily. Alternatively I could ask people to email bits they've done to me and construct a latex/pdf document that can be put up somewhere in documentation. Do either of these sound sensible? Are there better ways? Should I go away and pester the documentation people? Hi Ramon, I would say (without having done anything myself ...) just do it :-) Get yourself a wiki/osgeo account and start with this two pages in the wiki (pointing to it via a blogpost or so?). It's a wiki so it can always be removed/incorporated into docs if needed. Don't let it get stale on your computer...
